Deeper than the Skull

 

I spend a lot of time

Staring

At the backs of peoples’ heads

Blondes, brunettes

Lights and darks

With tendencies towards straightness

Or curls

 

It’s like I’m transfixed

Mesmerized

Fascinated by the mind

That I cannot see

I wish that my eyes could penetrate

Deeper than that skull

Into the mind which I

May never know

 

I can’t see on my own

Please enlighten me

Who are you?
